Fight of Life

I used this CodeJam to challenge myself, creating something from scratch, while not using an IDE.

The entire project was written from scratch using only:

vim as (code) editor

bash to run vim, the code and git related commands

git for source control

Browser ...because writing code that fails in creative ways...

My primary goal was to improve my skills, actually finishing the whole project (which I didn't) was always secondary. Still, I'm happy with the result, considering I definitely wrote more than double the amount of code, than I would've with an IDE (code-completion, refactoring, etc...). I managed to produce something...

Since javidx9 was one of my principal inspirations to learn C++, I wanted to throw in a few lines of C++ as well, but the major part of the project is written in Python, using the C++ code wrapped with Cython.

wasnt able to get the game running, gave it 10-20min of trying. i suspect it is an issue with using both python 2 and 3 on my computer simultaneously. i may have been able to get it running if i put in more time, but have no more to spare, unfortunately. kudos for ditching the evil IDE for this though! im a vim user as well ;) pure bliss

Thanks for trying for so long anyways. Next time I'll invest some more time in properly packaging it...

I wanted to do so much more, but I learnt my way around vim pretty well (meaning, I started to scratch the surface of this beast :P ) so I achieved the goal I set out for, sort of and entered something...
